The secretary may issue half-season licenses after the thirty-first day of December in each year, at a fee of twelve shillings and sixpence each, and monthly licenses at a fee of seven shillings and sixpence each after the thirty-first day of December in each year. The charge for licenses for women, and for boys under the age of fourteen years, shall be five shillings each for the season during which such licenses are issued.

2. Every such license shall entitle the person named therein to fish in any of the said waters from the first day of October in each year to the thirtieth day of April in the following year inclusive, between the hours of four a.m. and ten p.m. only; but no such license shall confer any right of entry upon the land of any person without his consent.

5. No person shall use any other bait, or any method, device, or contrivance of any sort or kind whatever, for the purpose of fishing for, taking, catching, or killing trout, except a rod and line and a landing net or gaff for fish taken with rod and line.

6. No cross-line fishing, stroke-hauling, or any other unsportsmanlike device shall be used for the purpose of taking, catching, or killing trout; nor shall any of the baits above mentioned be used with any medicated or chemical preparation whatever.

7. No person shall fish without a license; and every person fishing shall, on demand of any Ranger, constable, member of the society, or person producing a license, produce and show to such Ranger, member, constable, or person his license, and the contents of his creel or bag, and the bait used by him for taking, catching, or killing trout.

8. Every trout not exceeding eight inches in length from nose to tip of tail taken or caught by any person shall be immediately returned alive into the water from which the same is taken.

9. No person shall put, throw, or place, or allow to be put, thrown, or placed, in any of the said waters any sawdust or sawmill refuse, or anything of any kind or description whatever poisonous, deleterious, or noxious to fish.

10. No person shall take, fish for, catch, or kill, in any manner whatever, or have in his possession, any salmon, salmon-parr, or smolts, or the ova, young, or fry of any salmon in any state whatever; and any of the above-named taken by accident shall immediately be returned to the water from whence it was taken.

11. No person shall buy, sell, or expose or offer for sale within the county to which these regulations relate any of the Salmonidae or trout, or take, fish for, catch, or kill any of the Salmonidae or trout in order to make sale of the same, without permission in writing under the hand of the secretary of the society.

12. No person shall have in his possession any of the Salmonidae or trout between the first day of May and the thirtieth day of September in each year, which period is appointed a close season for all such fish.
